    IntroductionLymphoid hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a reactive HES, related to the presence of an abnormal circulating T cell clone. Cutaneous manifestations are frequent and sometimes inaugural, however few studies describe them specifically.Case ReportWe report the case of a 63-year old patient, in good general condition, with no previous history and taking no treatment, who was being followed for non-specific skin lesions. Blood and skin examinations showed hypereosinophilia, the presence of an aberrant CD3-CD4+ phenotype and a positive T-clonality test. There was no differential diagnosis or argument for a systemic lymphoma.ConclusionCutaneous manifestations of lymphoid HES are variable, non-specific, and may differ according to lymphocyte phenotype. The discovery of SHE requires an extension workup and the risk of evolution towards a systemic lymphoma justifies a close surveillance. Treatment is adapted to the severity of the symptoms.Copyright © 2021 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI). Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
